On Friday’s Alex Marlow Show, host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow spotlighted a landmark ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court — one that delivers a long-awaited check on activist judges and runaway judicial power.
In a major 6–3 decision, the Court ruled that lower federal courts cannot issue nationwide injunctions, a move long criticized by conservatives as a way for individual judges to block federal policy across all 50 states.
But the ruling wasn’t just about reining in courts — it featured a blistering legal takedown from Justice Amy Coney Barrett that drew headlines on its own.
Marlow didn’t hold back in his praise for Justice Barrett, who authored the Court’s opinion:
“Justice Barrett… came in with haymakers towards Ketanji Brown Jackson, the left-wing judge, and these things have to be seen to be believed,” Marlow said. “But the smackdown was so intense… basically saying that her entire interpretation of the law is bogus.”
This sharply worded opinion by Barrett marks one of the most forceful rejections of left-wing judicial activism in recent memory. Legal scholars from The Federalist and National Review have echoed that this decision strikes at the heart of how progressives have hijacked the courts to block conservative policy—especially during the Trump presidency.
Nationwide injunctions became a favorite legal weapon for the Left during President Trump’s term. A single judge, often in a liberal district, could bring federal immigration policy, regulatory reform, or tax enforcement to a standstill—regardless of voter will or constitutional boundaries.
By curbing this practice, the Court returns power to the elected branches and restores balance to a system too often hijacked by unelected, ideologically motivated judges.
Alex Marlow, whose new book Breaking the Law investigates the radical “lawfare superstructure” targeting conservatives, underscored the broader stakes:
“These themes are exactly why I felt it so important to write Breaking the Law, … this is a path forward for us to beat the single biggest threat to Donald Trump and his administration and his agenda… is to take on the lawfare superstructure.”
Marlow sees the ruling as more than a legal victory—it’s part of a much-needed push to dismantle the Left’s legal machinery aimed at derailing America First reforms through courtroom tactics rather than the ballot box.
Friday’s ruling is a win for constitutional order, limited government, and common-sense justice. With bold leadership from justices like Barrett, the tide may finally be turning against a judicial culture that’s too long allowed progressive ideology to masquerade as impartial law.
Conservatives, stay alert—this is one front where the war is very real, but victories like this one show it can be won.
